Angle: The Scarlet Knights (1-0) are looking to avenge last year’s loss, in which they took a 27-10 lead into the fourth quarter, but lost 33-30 in OT. The nation is learning about RB Ray Rice, but QB Mike Teel must play better. A win and Rutgers could start 4-0. Illinois (1-0) has a long way to go, but 11 is a lot of points against a still-developing defense.

Eyes on: Illinois S Kevin Mitchell; Rutgers RB Brian Leonard.

PREDICTION: Rutgers 38, Illinois 30.

PENN STATE at NOTRE DAME

3:30 p.m. Ch.4

Line: Notre Dame by 8.

Angle: The Irish (1-0) had a tough 14-10 win over Georgia Tech and dropped in the polls. QB Brady Quinn did not throw a TD pass but neither did he throw an INT. Penn State (1-0) will play a more conventional defense than Georgia Tech. The best news out of the Nittany Lions’ win over Akron is that QB Anthony Morelli has a game under his belt.

Eyes on: PSU LB Paul Posluszny; NDWR Jeff Samardzija.

PREDICTION: Notre Dame 24, Penn State 20.

CLEMSON at BOSTON COLLEGE

3:30 p.m. Ch.7

Line: Clemson by 2 1/2.

Angle: The Tigers (1-0) have one of the better defensive lines in the nation, led by end Gaines Adams. The Eagles (1-0) have one of the better offensive lines in the nation, anchored by Josh Beekman. Clemson QB Will Proctor was not sharp in the opener and BC’s defense gave up too many points to Central Michigan.

Eyes on: Clemson RB James Davis; BC LB Brian Toal.

PREDICTION: BC 20, Clemson 17.

GEORGIA at SOUTH CAROLINA

7:45 p.m. ESPN

Line: Georgia by 3.

Angle: Top to bottom, the Dawgs have much more talent than South Carolina. But Steve Spurrier’s program is on the rise after a 15-0 season-opening win at Mississippi State.

Georgia needs much better play at QB. SC can’t expect to own the line of scrimmage as in its opener.

Eyes on: Georgia DE Quentin Moses; SCWR Sidney Rice.

PREDICTION: Georgia 27, South Carolina 26 (OT).

OHIO STATE at TEXAS

8 p.m. Ch.7

Line: Texas by 2 1/2.

Angle: It’s the first time the top two- ranked teams in the nation have played since 1996, when No. 2 FSU upset No. 1 Florida, 24-21. Texas’ win at Ohio State last season was the springboard for the national title. The Buckeyes (1-0) have the better, more- experienced QB in Troy Smith. Texas QB Colt McCoy isn’t ready for a game of this magnitude.
